Mesut Ozil

Mesut Ozil joined Arsenal from Real Madrid in 2013. He cost the Gunners more than £40million which made him the most expensive German footballer of all time. Since his arrival he has helped the club to consecutive FA Cup victories. After months of speculation over his future, Ozil signed a new long-term deal with the Gunners in February 2018, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2021. After the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Ozil retired from international competition due to alleged discrimination and disrespect by the German Football Association (DFB).
